It might do.  I have Ted's htree/NFS fixes in there though.

Felipe, please do 

	dumpe2fs /dev/hdXX | grep features

if it shows dir_index then it might be an ext3 problem.  If not then it is
probably an NFS problem.

If it does have dir_index set then please run

	tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hdXX

and reboot and retest.
